Fourteen years ago I ran against Representative Karen Clark for the House seat in District 60A, which with some peripheral changes is now District 61A. Despite shortages of funds, and staff, outright lies by my opponent, and the endorsement of the Star Tribune's editorial staff, my campaign still managed to draw over 33% of the vote in the general election, more than any Republican candidate ever had in 60A or the new 61A.
